Track 9: Critical Minerals, Strategic Materials and Mineral Policy

Arequipa Arequipa ranks second and presents a distinct profile: ●​ extremely high REINFO territorial pressure ●​ significant formal mining coexistence ●​ lower fragility than Puno, but stronger production overlap risk This implies not only governance stress, but also direct exposure of formal mining systems. Apurímac and Cusco These regions combine: ●​ territorial mining exposure ●​ governance fragility ●​ conflict potential ●​ strategic corridor relevance They represent emerging or transitional high-risk clusters. Madre de Dios Madre de Dios reflects: ●​ historical illegal gold extraction embeddedness ●​ persistent territorial extractive specialization ●​ environmental and institutional stress Although its profile differs from southern corridor regions, it remains structurally high-risk. La Libertad La Libertad combines: ●​ important REINFO concentration ●​ gold production relevance ●​ coexistence pressures between formal and informal mining 6.3 Moderate Risk Tier The following regions score in an intermediate range: ●​ Ayacucho ●​ Cajamarca ●​ Ancash ●​ Junín ●​ Lima ●​ Ica ●​ Huancavelica ●​ Piura These territories do not yet present the same structural concentration as the top tier, but display relevant combinations of mining exposure, institutional gaps, or territorial stress. 37
